I've got the left amber light flashing after using VisulaGPSce and can't find any manual way of turning off the GPS.... I would have expected it to be under comms manager or the GPS app in settings - but no!
I can switch it off by starting copilot and then exiting it, but I'd rather be able to have some manual control - anybody got any ideas?
Hmm i dont have that problem, any Software using the GPS Device switches it on when starting and off again on exit. A manual control like the bluetooth Radio would be nice though.
I think, the problem is, that yor VisualGPS isn't closes.
Look at you taskmanager, if it is open.
Im currenlty using Black 2.5 release
and I've gone into the HTweakC and enabled the show disconnect button
for the GPRS/G3 Tweaks, I then did a soft restart but I dont see an button that disables/enables GPRS
u're right
Yes me having this issue too...
Have verified that the relevant registry settings are set properly...
but the button just doesn't appear....
Well, as an alternate solution, you can use this little app here to turn of GPRS ... works well if you want to use wifi and be sure you don't get hit with roaming charges.
@aximfan - by default in Black2.5 it has the TEN button comm manager. The GPRS is the third one down on the Right hand side. It should be there unless you installed something which replaced the defaults.
@fychan - what ROM are you on???
@Both why did you not post this in the persective ROM Threads???

I havent installed anything extra and the button you mentioned right now its mapped to beam on/off
@aximfan - you have a corrupted download. And you do not need to touch HTCtweak.
Here is a screen capture of my Black2.5 comm manager:
Hello.
This is the "reloaded" of SVMPowerMgr 1.0.
With this app. You can:
- turn off the screen of Your device
- put the device in suspended mode
- soft reset the device
- turn off the device (HTC devs.).
- turn on/off wifi
- turn on/off phone module
- turn on/off bluetooth (make discoverable/invisible)
- switch phone bands Auto-2G-3G
You also can create 7 shortcuts to the program with parameters:
0 - turn off the screen of Your device
1 - put the device in suspended mode
2 - soft reset the device
3 - turn off the device(HTC devs.).
4 - turn on/off phone module
5 - turn on/off wifi
6 - turn on/off bluetooth
somethig like this
[simbols count]#"[path to program]SVM Power Mgr.exe" [parameter]?[path to icon file you want to use],-[icon index]
You can change the images of backrounds button separator and buttons, they will be located in "Images" folder after install. With one restriction: now the buttons are black, so if you change the back of main program, consider this ...
Remarks: To close the main window you must tap anywhere outside the buttons or in space between buttons. Also to close additional windows tap the Close button or empty space of window.
P.S.
On/off bluetooth works well on Microsoft and Broadcom stacks, but discoverable/invisible mode for bluetooth is working just on Microsoft stacks, on broadcom is to be developped
P.S.S.
Supported screen resolutions: QVGA (240x320), Square (240x240), SquareQVGA (320x320), VGA(480x640), Square VGA (480x480), WVGA (480x800)
Regards.
Seems really useful. Gonna try it with powerbutton long press
Looks promising....will give this a whirl...thx
hello and thaks. i am looking for something like this.
happy new year
Looks useful... Gonna try it.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards
It looks awesome. Will give it atry on my phone.,..
Looks great, thank you very much!
It works but there is no icon on each button on my HD. Using stock ROM
Works great on my Diamond. The only thing that does not work is the 3G and 2G switch, which I assume is because I am on CDMA. Would it be possible to get the button to switch from Ev (3)G to 1x? Good work.

Hi,
I'll try to find a way for this.
Best regards.
Error
For my device it can do almost all it promises including turning off the gsm but turning it on or switching between 2G/3G does nothing except gives me a dialog box named "Warning!" that containins the sentence
"The Phone status can not be switched."
Also turning the gsm and 3G on/off with HTC comm manager works just fine but as soon the gsm gets turned off by svmpm the HTC one also looses control over the gsm module (including 3G switch). I love your tool but how to get over this case?
I've got a feeling that this app has one of the best forum-replies per downloads ratio. I mean people just use it and don't complain. So great app when mapped to a comfortable hardkey. My issue was rare, so download it!
Hello and thanks for the program. I have instaled in my HD and mapped to one of the home bottom button. I have an spasnish stock ROM 1.56 and the final button doesn´t work and I would want to link it to another application like mylight. How can I make this?
Thanks for this applicatin
Missing icons
The app functions correctly for me, but the icons are missing (the text for each button are present). Anyway to bring the icons back?
Thanks
MEG
HTC HD2
Thanks a lot.
A very useful app for my GPS guided treeking.
works very well, thank you very much!

Dear Virtan, would you please give me an axample to create a shortcut please.
I think I don't know about [symbol count] and [parameter]?...
What should i write (i use resco explorer) when i want to create a shortcut, for suspend for example...
Thank You
EDIT :
It's okay...I found it..i just add number 1 after the shortcut.
For example :
"\Program Files\SVM Power Mgr\SVM Power Mgr.exe" 1
But Still don't know how to change the icon.
PS:
When i use this shortcut as a link to SPB Mobile Shell i found that everytime i wake up the device, the device starting with "something working" logo (circle that quartered and moving). This is not found when i use the SVM Power Mgr usual link (with menu). Any suggestion?
Getting a GPS-Fix can take a long time especially with an internal GPS receiver. If you are moving, it will even take longer to get the GPS-Fix, so when using a navi like TomTom you should wait for the fix (between a few seconds and more than 20 minutes) befor you start your trip. And when you switch of your phone (standby) or even when you close the application, the GPS module will shut off immediately. When you restart your application or switch on the phone you will have to wait to get a new GPS-fix. This will be quit fast but still annoying. I like to take geotagged pictures (footprints) but befor taking the first picture I have to wait a few minutes and if I don't keep my phone switched on all the time I have to wait another 20 seconds for each next picture.
As far as I know, there are two reasons for the GPS module to get switched of:
1. When short pressing power button (suspend state) or not useing the phone for a few minutes (unattended state) the GPS module gets switched off. This can be fixed quit easily by using these reg-keys (I am not sure if "GPS0:", "GPD0:" and "COM4:" are realy all needed?!). But this only helps if the program which uses the GPS module keeps on running even if the phone is in suspend because of the second reason:
2. When closing the last program which uses GPS, the GPS module gets switched off as well. With some programs you don't even have to close them. When you switch of your phone most of the programs (like TomTom) enter suspend state not using GPS anymore and the GPS module is shut off even if you use the reg-keys from above just because there is no program using GPS in that situation.
A small program together with the reg-keys should do the trick. This program should always run even if the phone is in suspend mode and it should interact with the MS GPS intermediat driver all the time to keep GPS alive.
Features:
- run as a service
The program should always run (hidden from taskmanager) but must not be active (keeping GPS alive) all the time.
- taskbar integration (WM6.5.x compatible)
There should be a symbol in the taskbar indicating the status of the program. Something like red for inactive, yellow for active/connecting and green for active with gps-fix. Pressing the icon should bring up a menu for activate, deactivate and config.
- Program to switch between active and inactive
With such a program it would be possible to switch the program state with an applauncher or via mortscript or you can map this program to a hardware-button. Maybe parameters like "on", "off" and "toggle" can be used with a shortcut?!
Nice to have:
- status led
Configure one of the phones LEDs as an indicator for this service. LED off = service inactive, LED blinking = connecting, LED on = GPS fix.
- auto off
User can choose after how many hours the service will deactivte itself (GPS is still usable but not always on).
- scheduler
Who needs GPS when sleeping or during work?
- multilingual
I could do the german translation!
- gps-tracking
The frequency and the location of the logfile should be configurable and there should be more parameters for the programswitcher: "trackon", "trackoff", "tracktoggle". The taskbaricon should indicate the status of the tracker as well.
- prevent suspend when switching off the phone
Programs like tomtom would keep on running even if you press the powerbutton and you could use it for audio-navigation. With the display shut off the power consumption should be much less.
These are just a few ideas I had when thinking about this program. I already searched the forum and found this interesting thread. It's the one with the reg-keys. If someone is willing to write this program he may find some useful information in that thread
Does such a program already exist? Isn't it a good idea? Will someone write this program?

Looks very promissing but I still have to do a bit more testing.
I'm trying to set up tasker to turn GPS on when I start Navigation and a couple of other GPS-dependant apps, but because I'm not rooted I can't use Secure Settings plugin or get the D-Pad to turn GPS on from Location Settings menu.
But the GPS switch on the Power Saving widget turns GPS on with one click, and it doesn't open the Location Settings menu to have me check the box. So what is it that makes it do that? Is it a script? If it is, can that same script be sent to Tasker? If not, can whatever it is be put into tasker?
Thanks
